Division C

While, based on recent experience, Chris Townsend's Spanish 900 and their Andalusian allies now have very mixed views about meeting more Vikings, they are looking forward to completing their tour of Europe by going for a ride with wulf85's Rus 960, and hopefully minimizing contact with the Viking allies.

Division C

Pergamene [Chris Townsend] successfully asserted its independence and the Antigonid (and allies) [IMC] are returning to Greece, having been defeated 46 to 19.

Pergamene was gifted with substantial woods/rough on each flank, with three of the 9 squares in the gap being rough or a built up area, and deployed warbands and thureophoroi in the gap and lots of low point irregulars, militia thureophoroi and massed peltasts in the woods, with a strong skirmisher line and a small cavalry force on a road through the left flank woods. The Antigonid force was mostly heavy troops and cavalry, though there was a decent skirmisher force and a few medium infantry.

The battle opened with a clash of skirmishers, and when the Pergamene numbers began to tell, the Antigonid line moved forward in support. On the Pergamene right, the battle was essentially a draw, with irregulars on rough terrain preventing progress by the Antigonid heavies, but not having the strength to counterattack into open terrain. On the Pergamene left, their medium infantry emerged from the woods and achieved local infantry superiority in numbers, offset by Antigonid quality, and troops, including the Pergamene cavalry, were added piece meal by each side.

Correctly sensing that he was slowly losing the battle on his right, the Antigonid general courageously decided to march the phalanx forward and assault the Pergamene centre. Unfortunately luck was against him. Two of the three initial charges against warbands resulted in the phalanx being pushed back and disrupted. And, although the phalanx successfully pushed back the thureophoroi, it exposed their flank to a deadly and well co-ordinated counterattack. It was all over except the fighting

A good game against a courageous Antigonid commander!

caroenkm (Roman) beat Morat (Galatian) 40 -8

A tough battle up hill for the Galatians and the warbands really didnt want to play. Unluck with the disruptions ended and promising battle. well played.

Div B

rpadilla1988 Byzantine 988-1041 defeats Asterix_von_TWC Frankish 751-887 with Frankish Continental 600 (31-63)

Both armies drew up on each other though something seemed amiss with the Franks, a handful of units seemed to be missing.. and upon some light reconnoiter work a couple of generals were eerily scarce. The Byzantine proceeded with caution.. a few small hills for each side and heavy woods off to the NW behind the Franks and lo- out burst nine cav units with half being lancers out from the woodline. The Byzantine braced and pressed forward quickly in an attempt to gain a favorable position. Battle ensued!

GG Asterix!
